Why not get creative next time you have a birthday to buy for and make a card instead. Not only will it save a few pennies but it really gives that persona touch. Homemade birthday cards allow you to create a design that's completely unique and personalise it especially for your recipient.

It's a good idea to keep blank cards and envelopes in the house as well as some glue and why not store away used wrapping paper and magazine tears that catch your eye, so you can incorporate them in to your design. Then you can pick up extra materials for your card each time you need them.

These two homemade birthday cards are perfect for little ones and can be easily made if time is pressing.

Bunting card
Cut four small triangles from patterned paper for the bunting and the required numeral from a different paper. Arrange on the front of a blank card and glue in place.

Candle card
Cut out required number of long, thin rectangles for candles and shape tops to a point. We used striped paper and cut the candles diagonally. Cut out the same number of small flame shapes from yellow paper. Arrange on the front of a blank card and glue in place.
